1t Was Suppressed,

NEW YORK, Feb. A-Mayor Hewitt to-
day furnished to the press copies of a letter
which he sent to the Young Mems demo-
cratic club of Brooklyn, but which was
suppressed and not read with other letters

of Washington's birthday, it is alleged. on
the ground that passage in it was in
tended as a reflection on Governor
ALL. The letter is devoted to the labor
question, and reflects most severely upon
secret organizations to controlsabor, and
adds: "This is tyranny against which
the democratic party has struggled
and which it must now confront and de-
nounce in no mistaken tones. 1t is true
democrats holding high positions have
courted with this new and dangerous ell
ement in politics and even attained high
Office in submitting to the humiliation
of apparent endorsement Of false
and dangerous doctrines. which
have been put In practice
at such fearful cost in our own midst with
in the present month. Unless the demo-
cratic party shall not and at once abSo-
lutely disown and condemn all organiza-
tions which seek to place an individual
under any other control than that of the
laws and deprive a citizen of his right of
free action, it will perish as it ought to do.

Dickinson,

DICKINSON, OAK, Feb. 2S.-[SpeciaLl-
The ball given by the Dickinson brass
band passed off last night (encroaching
somewhat on the small hours of this morn
ing) very successfully and pleasantly. The
large rink building was well filled, without
being over-crowded. The music was good,
and all seemed happy.
All of this week the weather has been,
thus far, remarkably pleasant here. The
sunshine has been quite warm, but the
frost in the air and the low temperature of
the snow has successfully resisted all the
efforts of old Sol to produce general thaw.
The result has been grand time for the
t0bogganers.
